Delivered to Eagle Pass yesterday then this morning ran over to Laredo to pick up a load going to New Boston, MI. So, to the 32 cargo vans and Sprinter-types sitting at the J in Laredo, I say to you, "neener neener."

They have a crab festival that takes place over Memorial Day weekend that's supposed to be awesome. I once had a load from Oklahoma City to an oil field in northeast Alaska, the last 200 or 300 miles was dirt road. It was a specialty hose. But when I was at the shipper they were pressure...

Happy Birthday!

Kewl. Hope it pays well. You're gonna have a long, and relatively pricey, round trip ferry ride. It's like either a 13 or a 9 hour trip, depending on the day of the week you depart. No access to the car deck while underway. It's something you'll need to have a paid reservation for.

Hope it wasn't anything I did. :D

It was very weird. Those pictures are basically in front of and to the right of the van. To left and behind are at least 3 tractor-trailers worth of bricks. A handful of them look new, the rest are weathered and brown and look like they've been sitting there for many years. Anyway, in the...

Agencia Aduanal Barrera Berlanga, freight forwarder extraordinaire... Eagle Pass, Tejas There's nobody here. Both phone numbers for them on their Website are disconnected or is no longer in service. Debris all over the place, at least 100 pallets of bricks in various places in the lot (wanna...

Don't dismiss lobbying and legislation regarding truck ownership, though.

I'll never forget the time I was traveling through Montana on US 212 from the Crow Agency heading east towards Belle Fourche. I was running the back door with two cattle trucks (that were thankfully not loaded). One of the cattle haulers had a train horn, although it was a Nathan AirChime, same...

The Silverstar Ultras have more "throw" and a wider angle, than standard bulbs, but yeah, 150-200 hours is about all your gonna get out of them. They have a one year warranty, which I've taken advantage of many multiple times. And since it takes like 2 minutes to change one, I can live with the...

North American Sprinters aren't wired for fog lamps, far as I know. They're is no simple headlamp assembly swap for fog light magic. You need to do the complete wiring on it. You can get the rocker switch for the dash to go right next to the leveler wheel. There's a spot right there for it...

300,000, 200,000, 100,000, respectively. Cut those numbers in half if no maintenance records, or if the records show haphazard or lackadaisical maintenance.

More than 8 hours in advance, less than 100 miles, DH miles is more than 40% of the loaded miles. That was my previous suggestions. Sandusky to Eagle Pass. 26 hours to get it there. Just kidding. 46 hours. :p

I'm exhausted.

Yeah, he did. Thanks again.

Thanks. I was just about to head over to the office (was at the Walmart in Woodhaven) to sit down with a manager or two and maybe the dispatcher when I got a call, just in the, uhm, Nick of time, and he let me know that a face-to-face discussion wasn't necessary, as the phone call said all that...

I got called for a load a little while ago. Walled Lake to San Antonio, 1474 miles, and exactly 25 hours to get it there. I would really like it if someone in here can explain to me how that can be done, and why it would be expected to be done, without even being told up front about such a...

I think what he's saying is, we all need to call and email the office a lot more on the weekends than we do. :D

On a load to Taylor.

Lorraine McFly!
